Sporting a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score, the extreme mountain climbing documentary "The Last First: Winter K2" is now available to Apple TV subscribers. A few weeks ago, Apple TV released the trailer and celebrated reaching a perfect score on the Tomatometer. The film has also premiered in selected theaters in recent days, promising "an unflinching look at the industry of extreme mountain climbing and its changing culture."
Directed by Amir Bar-Lev (The Tillman Story, Long Strange Trip), the documentary focuses on a 2021 expedition to the summit of Mount Godwin-Austen, better known as K2. Focusing on a 2021 expedition, this documentary follows Icelander John Snorri Sigurjónsson and the Pakistani father-son team of Ali and Sajid Sadpara, a party of mountaineers who set out to be the first to summit K2 in the winter. The men soon find themselves sharing the treacherous ascent with influencer climbers and their film crews, commercial expedition clients and a Nepalese team no longer content to help Westerners achieve mountaineering glory. The film reveals a layered story of strategy and determination, class and caste, money and power, all under life-and-death circumstances. Apple TV is available for $14.99 per month or as part of the Apple One bundle. It features hit shows like Ted Lasso, Severance, and The Morning Show.
